A. n is the cylinder; 19, the packing leather held in position by the expander ring and follower; 22, the pawl; 23, the pawl spring; 21, the piston spring; 24, the cylinder head and casing; and 27, the ratchet nut.

When the brake is released and the piston in the brake cylinder is forced to release position by the release spring, port a is connected with the non-pressure end of the cylinder, hence the air in the slack adjuster cylinder passes through pipe (Fig. 12), port a, and ou...
